That pump looks smaller than the vacuum reservoir.  The tank for the reservoir is kinda big but what ever it takes to stop. :biggrin:

I've installed the Hydratech hydroboost system. It's a very nice, neat looking setup. As far as perpormance, if you've never driven a vehicle with hydroboost, somthing on the order of a large heavy truck, you may find it odd pedal feeling in the beginning. But, as the system breaks in, and things get set properly, you will never regret the purchase. If you have a street car, that has factory brakes, manual setups are fine IMO. That, or make the commitment to keep the engine package sane enough to run power ones properly. I dont think cans or auxilery pumps are the solution. Just a crutch that you may or may not find acceptable.
